I'm currently doing this built-in for a good friend of mine. Contrary to my opinion they wanted to do this on the cheap and bought me a pile of select pine and AC plywood. These are just a few bad progress pics. I'll update with better pics when this is all done. :thumbsup:

Cheers!

Thanks fellas! Pocket screws, biscuits, dadoes, rabbets, gorilla wood glue (sets in like 15 minutes holy fast assemby)...the whole shootin match...but yeah a ton of pocket screws. I will forever be a fan of pocket screws for cabinet construction.:thumbsup:

They just want satin minwax poly on it...I seriously think they had a big gift card from Lowe's or something.

Despite the materials it is shaping up to be a nice built-in. I should have final pics up early this next week.

Cheers,
KC

KC,
Looks good. I've got some built-ins to do myself in our FROG. I finally found the woodshop over at Norfolk. Good news is there prices seemed pretty good. Bad news is I had just sold a few shadow boxes and spent about $200 in wood.....ha. I got some nice cherry sticks and a sheet of 3/4" luan plywood...$30 a sheet. That would have been really nice for the project you are doing now for your friends.

Looking forward to seeing the final pics....good luck!

John...MMA is good. Never better. I'll be fighting pro in the next fight or 2. No more getting punched in the head for free!! :laughing: I haven't fought since August because I started my business, but I've been training hard. I should be fighting again on May 25th. Thanks for asking!

Hey Al! I'm glad you found the woodshop in Norfolk. Pretty nice huh? That's the only workshop I had for the first 4 years in the Navy, but it's still nicer than the one I have now! Are they still charging by the board foot to run the jointers and planers? Where were you getting your hardwoods prior to finding the workshop? :yes:

Thanks Geo...The before was bad, but its shaping up to be a cool little project.

Should be finished tomorrow. I'll get more pics up then!

Here ya go Mike! Something I just couldn't bear to pocket screw together. :laughing: It might be hard to see, but there is a tenon in there.

Since I don't have a massive finishing room to go with also massive shop (yeah right:no:) I had to fire up the Ranger to finish the doors.

Thanks fellas! Kenbo...basic cabinetry is easy compared to radius work! I've tried some basic "scrolling" work on my recently acquired bandsaw and it's hard! :wallbash:I can only imagine making the things you make on a scroll saw...:notworthy:

Also, AZ Termite reminds me of a guy who used to be on here all the time...Anybody know what happened to theKCtermite? :confused1:
